It is the engine serial number from a 1963 Corvair 95 Truck (R-10 Forward Control)
The letter "W" only appeared on engines designated to be used on the R-10 FC Automatic Transmission vehicles, and "WC was unique to 1963

T = Tonawanda, New York (GM Tonawanda Engine Plant)

0710 = Engine manufacturing date (month and date). July 10th.
WC = 1963 - 102 HP, 145 CID, Powerglide Automatic Transmission (R-10 FC)

Apparently not the original engine for your 1963 Corvair coupe. The Corvair 95 engine had an oil filler tube extended from the lower right side engine cases, near the oil pan, instead of the normal oil filler tube to the right of the generator. This was to allow for easy servicing access from the rear access panel.
